Looking to build a small, quiet, and beautiful MicroMac and looking for a case recommendations. Also would like the case to be solid, quality materials. Current front-runner is a Lian Li: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112222

Anything I should watch out for in building in a tiny case?

Thanks
 
Nice case. Thanks :thumbup:

I am assuming that the cases that do not come with a power supply will fit a standard sized supply. Some of the cases I looked at that include a supply have flat elongated supplies and I'm wary of trusting.

This case takes a standard ATX PSU and is one of the reasons I picked it up. That and front panel Firewire.

The only downside to this case is you need to use a low profile cooler as the PSU sits directly above the CPU.

Good news on the PSU and very nice cooler suggestion. Amazing how low profile that is.

Thanks again to both of you. :thumbup:
